Pirate Sequence: Start with Outlaws.

Chapter 215: Black Mountain Town’s cultivation shows its power!

All the professionals they sent out to both Belloberg and Shuanglong Castle gained nothing.

But the strange phenomenon before my eyes continued.

This situation has left everyone scratching their heads.

Even Rune fell into deep thought.

"It seems that this quicksand snake is not so easy to catch. We were blocked outside by the sandstorm before we even entered the real gathering place of the quicksand snakes." Colonel Henry said with a wry smile.

His words of trying to find a way to make the situation more cheerful actually made everyone feel a little better.

Ryan on the side also shrugged and said, "Sandstorm? What we saw was at most a breeze, but even so, its power should not be underestimated. It is hard to imagine how terrible a real sandstorm would be."

Henry nodded. "But this is enough to show the preciousness of this desert snake gathering place. If it were too easy to catch a snake, I would feel a little uneasy."

He raised his hand to block out the light of the alchemical sun in the sky and gazed into the distance: "Once we solve the problem here, we will have a wonderful harvest. Look! I can even see those desert snakes stirring in the distance. Sooner or later, we will catch them."

All around, professionals from the two forces were busy.

It lasted for more than three hours, and there was still no result.

And Rune had been thinking for a long time.

He stood at the bow, his eyes fixed on the quicksand below.

"Colonel Rune, what are you thinking about?" Henry came to his side, "Don't be too anxious. There is no rush to study such things. Take your time. We can go back to the cabin and rest for a while."

Rune did not answer him directly, but made a gesture of silence, his eyes still lingering on the quicksand below.

Henry was somewhat confused by Rune's actions. He followed Rune's gaze, but could not see anything except the chaotic balancing of the quicksand.

But Rune's eyes gradually became excited.

"Found it." Rune took a deep breath, and his whole body became visibly relaxed.

"What did you find?"

Rune looked at Henry, "The triggering conditions of the sandstorm."

Hearing this, Henry was shocked for a moment, and then hurriedly asked: "Tell me quickly what the triggering conditions of the sandstorm are, and why is it so difficult for so many of us to discover it?!"

Rune didn't keep the secret and pointed at the quicksand below and said, "In fact, I have always wondered why so many of our professionals can't find the triggering conditions of the sandstorm. Even I can't observe the existence of anything like array patterns from any angle."

"And what you said before just reminded me."

"What did I say? Why don't I remember it?" Henry was confused.

Rune said: "You said before that when you looked at those desert snakes in the distance, they seemed very impatient."

"So, what is the relationship between this sentence and the triggering conditions of the sandstorm?" Henry still didn't understand.

Lu En smiled and said, "It's actually very simple. We thought things were too complicated. The reason why we can't find any array patterns or barriers is because there are no such things at all!"

"Not at all!" Henry's voice was a little loud, attracting the attention of others. Casruituo, Liad, Henry and others, including Lincoln from Shuanglong Castle, gathered around.

Rune explained his discovery to everyone, "Actually, this place is not so mysterious at all. The reason why passing through a certain place will cause hurricanes and sandstorms is that there are many pairs of eyes staring at us under this quicksand."

"As long as we cross their cordon, they will pass information to each other, causing hurricanes and sandstorms to block all external enemies."

“To put it bluntly, there are sentinels beneath the quicksand.”

"These sentinels hide very deeply and usually do not move, making them even harder to be discovered. I have carefully observed the quicksand for the past few hours and finally found some clues of them."

After hearing Rune's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their mood became relaxed, and then a little depressed.

The relief was that they had finally found a solution to the current predicament, but the frustrating thing was that they did not expect the enemy's defense to be so simple, yet they had spent so much time on it.

"I see." Kasruituo scratched his head, "Or maybe we thought the monsters were too smart! Does this mean that as long as we kill the monsters below, we can successfully enter the gathering place of the desert snakes?"

"It is very likely so. However, how to catch these guys and kill them is a difficult problem."

Colonel Henry at the side also took over the conversation at this time and said: "Balanced Quicksand itself has no lethality. Instead, it is a mild substance. However, it has the effect of balancing other substances and amplifying their abilities. The monster sentinels buried underneath, they only need to push their own abilities, and the Balanced Quicksand will become their natural helper."

"Moreover, our artillery and other weapons will probably not be very effective against the creatures under the quicksand. It may not be easy for our extraordinary people to fight these monsters in the quicksand. After all, the quicksand flows like seawater."

"We have tried to step into quicksand before, but the waves at the edge of the sea made it impossible to stand firmly. Moreover, the monsters under the quicksand can drag people in at any time. People who step into it will die without knowing how they died."

At this time, Major General Lincoln of the Shuanglong Castle said, "We Dragonborn can fly for a short time, but unfortunately it can't last too long. If we face the quicksand directly, even we dare not set foot in this area."

Kasruto spread his hands and said, "We have found the problem, but we didn't expect that solving it would be such a difficult problem. However, we must overcome the difficulties in front of us no matter what."

Colonel Ryan said at this time: "How about I take a group of people to test the water first? The previous explorers said that quicksand is difficult to set foot on, but it is not necessarily true. We have to consider it based on the actual situation."

Henry did not refuse this, but just nodded slightly and said: "Be careful."

Colonel Ryan selected 15 extraordinary people to follow him to balance the sand sea.

The dragonborns of the Twin Dragon Castle flew briefly, preparing to provide support in the air.

Everyone's eyes were on the 16 people heading to the sand sea. The whereabouts of these people would determine whether they could successfully break through the barrier in front of them and enter the gathering place.

Colonel Ryan jumped off the deck, followed by other extraordinary people.

After landing on the sea of ​​sand, Ryan's whole body seemed to be shaking and he was unstable.

The situation of the extraordinary people behind him was even more exaggerated than his.

At the moment when several people landed on the sand sea, the surrounding sand sea became more turbulent like the waves of the sea.

When the waves reached everyone's feet, they became extremely chaotic, and even several extraordinary people fell directly into the sand.

Suddenly, a pair of invisible hands stretched out from the sea of ​​sand and dragged the fallen extraordinary person underground.

Everyone only heard a slight whimpering sound, and the breath of the extraordinary person completely disappeared.

Colonel Ryan was the first to react. A thunderous spear appeared in his hand and stabbed straight into the sea of ​​sand.

After a dazzling flash, dark red blood appeared from under the sand.

As Colonel Ryan recalled his rare spear, a monkey-like creature was skewered on the spear.

His abdomen had been pierced by a spear, his whole body was charred, and there was no sign of life left.

Everyone was slightly surprised when they found the monkey's body.

The monkey looks extremely ugly, with a hunched and thin body, only about 30 centimeters long.

But its arms are actually 1 meters long and its ears are on its hands.

The mouth is divided into 8 parts, each of which has countless fangs, and the remains of the corpses of previous extraordinary people can be seen in its mouth.

In other words, the extraordinary person who was dragged into the sand sea by him before has been swallowed by it.

Just a few seconds after Colonel Ryan retracted his spear, the nearby sand sea suddenly became agitated, apparently because of the death of the monkey.

The waves of the sand sea became more frequent, and the extraordinary people on it seemed somewhat unsteady on their feet.

And pairs of hands stretched out from all around, trying to drag people into the sea of ​​sand.

The dragonborn who had been flying in the sky quickly brought back everyone on the sand sea.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they returned to the deck.

Thick dark clouds had gathered in the sky, blocking the scorching sunlight from the alchemical sun.

"Luckily we got back in time and didn't actually cross the cordon, otherwise we would have been engulfed by the hurricane and sandstorm by now."

Even though Ryan was very happy about the exam, he was still a little scared at this time and said "it's okay" twice in a row.

The monkey corpses he brought back also became an important resource for everyone's research.

This is a completely new species that has never been seen before, and it aroused everyone's curiosity.

While various professionals were conducting research on the monkeys, Ryan didn't say much.

Among the 15 people he named who entered the sea of ​​sand, two died in just a few minutes. He felt a little guilty about it.

After more than ten minutes of research, all the data of the monkey has been delivered to everyone.

Scholars specializing in exotic zoology and magical beasts named this monkey the long-eared sand monkey.

According to their judgment, the long-eared sand monkey has a very wide hearing range in the sand sea and can successfully capture any sound within 10 kilometers around it.

But as soon as they leave the sand sea, their hearing and various attributes will decline rapidly.

As sentinels of the desert snake gathering place, they lurk in the sea of ​​sand. Once they hear anything unusual or find anything crossing the warning line, they will immediately emit a sound of a certain frequency, thus causing a hurricane, which will drive the balanced quicksand to form a sandstorm.

However, the exact source of the hurricane is still unclear.

"Although I don't know how these long-eared sand monkeys control the hurricane, at least we know that they are the ones causing trouble. So as long as we get rid of them, we can go deeper into it through our current position."

"We still have to send people down to wipe them out," Ryan said. "But based on the feeling I had when I stepped into the sea of ​​sand just now, it's hard for ordinary transcendents to stand firm on the sea of ​​sand, let alone fight the elusive long-eared sand monkeys. Their abilities are greatly enhanced under the quicksand, and ordinary people can't deal with them."

Lincoln said, "How about we kill it from the air?"

Ryan shook his head. "The long-eared sand monkey is buried very deep, and it is impossible to find it in the air. Not to mention that this balanced quicksand is a precious alchemical substance and has a very high strength. It is a question whether your attack can penetrate the thick sand layer from the air."

"There is only one way to kill these long-eared sand monkeys, and that is to use yourself as bait and wait for them to attack you and reveal their flaws on the sand sea. This way, you can easily cause fatal damage to them."

No one questioned what Ryan said.

But it is a bit difficult to use the extraordinary people as bait.

Everyone had seen the performance of these long-eared sand monkeys just now. The Sequence 7 transcendents were no match for them under the opponent's use of their environment.

He was dragged into the desert and died in less than 5 seconds.

How to select the right people to step into the sea of ​​sand is a difficult decision.

"How about this, I'll go down again." Ryan volunteered, "But I have to be more careful in selecting other extraordinary people. Ask them if anyone is confident enough to go. I will definitely not be stingy with the rewards after I go back!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

But at this time, Lu En spoke up, "I'll go down."

"Colonel Rune." Everyone was a little surprised when he spoke.

In their eyes, although Rune was very powerful, he was still at Sequence 6.

Moreover, he is currently an important protected person of Dongren and the commander-in-chief of this mission.

Generally speaking, no one would put the head coach in a dangerous situation.

They all wanted to persuade him, but Rune waved his hand and said, "These sand seas are not difficult for me. I need to carefully select the extraordinary people who will accompany me. They are the most important. I can't handle it alone."

Seeing that Rune was determined to do so, the others had no choice but to obey, but they were always ready to rescue them.

Half an hour later, everything was ready and 50 extraordinary people went down with Rune.

25 of them will be selected from Double Dragon Castle and 25 from Bello Berg.

51 people jumped off the deck, their hearts in their throats, extremely nervous.

Their eyes were mainly on Rune.

When everyone's footsteps landed on the sand sea, the entire sand sea became more turbulent, like a real sea, with surging waves.

Having learned from the previous experience, the sand sea will not let go of anyone who provokes it again, and the long-eared sand monkeys below even want to avenge their dead companions.

In this bumpy world, everyone is like a small boat in a storm, floating and sinking wildly with the incoming waves.

If you are not careful, the boat will capsize and you will die.

The speed of the quicksand nearly doubled, and countless whirlpools began to appear.

The extraordinary people each used their own special abilities and were finally able to keep their bodies steady and not fall.

However, the simple test by the long-eared sand monkey and the interference of some external forces caused seven or eight extraordinary people to be dragged into the quicksand.

"This situation is ten times worse than when I went down last time." Ryan was on the deck with a serious expression.

He looked at Rune below with worried eyes, but suddenly frowned tightly.

"Something's wrong. Why do I feel that Colonel Rune is not affected by the sea of ​​sand?"
